Sun Harvest Citrus

Fantastic fresh juices. You can taste samples. Good ice creams and muffins!

Three words, Strawberry Orange Juice! free samples of i think 6 different juices (maybe more), and free samples of fresh fruit. Great gift shop. We love the Orange Vanilla soft serves and the chocolate shakes as well :) Open till 7… wish they were open later but its okay, we enjoy it on our mondays off.

The best orange juice, my dad loves plain orange, my daughter loves the strawberry orange and my husband loves the cranberry orange. A MUST at the start of every trip. They also have great samples of the fruit and juice as well as a great ice cream cone as a special treat we always look forward to.

Wonderful fresh squeezed juices! Great choices of fresh fruits! Good soft serve in unusual flavors like lime. Lots of trinkets and gift choices like jams, honey, wine, etc.
We shopped here twice; just after arrival and then on the way to the airport! This place was very busy both times, but the lines moved OK. There is even a USPO here to ship items home from if you wish.
You may help yourself to fresh juice samples of 6 different types! Then buy what you want. There are slices of fruit to sample if you wish.
We did not think that the lime or orange soft serve had much taste, but the chocolate was OK.

Really cute little place. I was visiting Fort Myers with my boyfriend and his grandmother took us here for ice cream. They don’t have a ton of flavors, but it is good! The best part is the fresh-​squeezed juice. You can even sample each kind – it’s amazing and so fresh and delicious. They also have tons of cute gifts and treats – perfect for bringing home a souvenir.

Love, love, love the samples of fresh juice! There are some really neat collections of gift shop items to. I do only give 3 stars because I find the prices of «everything» in the entire shop extremely overpriced. My family was really sticker shocked at the food, toys, drinks, and random other items for sale within the store.

A great stop today! Fresh samples of different oranges & grapefruits. A few kinds of fresh squeezed juices to sample too. They sell fruits by the lb and offer shipping right on sight. Definitely worth the stop!

It seems to me like a bit of a tourist trap, but locals love it. I was not impressed with the fruit samples, although free is nice. The smoothies were expensive for the lack of quality. However, it is worth picking up a bottle of fresh squeezed lemonade. The lemonade is fantastic!

A must visit when in the Fort Myers/​Cape Coral area.
THE most delicious citrus grown locally in Florida, in my opinion.
Love that you can sample any of their delicious juices and succulent fruits. We usually buy their sampler bag of citrus when visiting, which lasts the two of us about a week.
They also have cute, unique gifts ranging from key lime juice to Christmas ornaments with alligators on them to locally made jams and jellies. Good place to pick up little treats. :)
Pro tip: make sure you get an ice cream to go and enjoy outside on their patio.

I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream!
And the juices are incredible. Would never drink a mainstream juice again if I didn’t live so far away.

I liked the selection and ability to try all of the juices before you purchased; the strawberry Orange is the best juice I have ever tasted. Wow!
We drove 1.5 hours from Siesta Key to try to have an understanding of the orange harvest process. Since we live on a farm in NW Ohio, we wanted to see some actual harvesting, sorting, etc. We were disappointed to only see the sorting and juice pressing.
We also tried the ice cream. There are rave reviews about it. I own an ice cream store at home, and this soft serve lacked flavor and texture/​smoothness that the soft serve that I serve does. I also felt the flavor level (I tried the orange and the lime) could have been amplified more. Again, I eat ice cream regularly, and flavor soft serve based on my tastes, and this just wasn’t up to par.
The only good thing was we and the the Edison/​Ford estates right afterwards, which ended up being a very cool trip and made our long road day worth it.

We use to come about ten years ago and they had a better selection of samples, it seems they have cut back a bit and so it was a little disappointing if you wanted to try what citrus was in season. There is a lot of stuff to buy for souvenirs. Fresh orange, grapefruit juice and lemonade for a taste of FL. Jams, jellies, spice mixes and of course the option to send citrus to those out of town who need a taste of sunshine. I will still visit when in the area and perhaps there will be more in season or available to try on the next visit. I would could this as a must do if in the area.
Look in the coupon books for a orange and vanilla twist custard cone.

Great selection. Friendly people. Reasonable Prices for all things citrus. Great location if you’re heading back home and need an AUTHENTIC and healthy souvenir. You’re about 15 minutes from the airport using major surface roads. This is not a hidden treasure but a very visible location across from Hammond Stadium and the Twins’ complex.

Sun Harvest is a nice little trinket gift shop mixed with some produce grocery. They also have frozen yogurt and other bakery items. There’s a free juice tasting in the back, where I discovered the strawberry orange juice. Normally, I’m not a huge fan of OJ, but this was amazing! I’m not one to really buy random gifts or fruits, but I would buy this juice!

A popular novelty, tourist trap and must see in town! Sample their Orange juice and oranges while walking around looking at souvenirs and nick nacks. there’s a post office located right inside to mail those souvenirs all over the world. You wont be disappointed, I promise! I love that is a locally owned business and family operated.

Sun Harvest was a weekly pit-​stop when I lived in Ft. Myers. Always fun to watch them make the orange juice. Great selection of fresh citrus and gourmet snacks to choose from. And definitely our favorite… Orange swirl ice cream cones!!! If you come to Ft. Myers, you have to go here. :-)

We were over in the Fort Myers area and had some time to waste and found this place. From the looks of the reviews & pictures, it looked like they did tours of the produce they harvested. It wasn’t too far from where we were. The place is located right off of Six Mile Cypress Parkway and Michael G. Rippe Parkway.
The building looks big from the outside, on the inside it looks smaller, possible because I only saw the gift shop area. I saw a sign posted up that the «fresh picked citrus fruit season is over» and it will begin back again in November. Oh well, maybe next time. The inside of the store has a lot of gimmicky Florida stuff you can find at any gas station along I-​75.
Mingled in with the knickknacks are fruit. They had Valencia oranges and Ruby Grapefruit. They even had a little glass case in which you could sample the fruit. Remember to use the tongs, you heathens. Along with fruit samples, they had fruit juice samples. They included orange, grapefruit, strawberry/​orange, lemonade, and cranberry orange. I tried the strawberry orange, it was pretty good. You can get a ½ gallon bottle for $ 5.99.
Lastly, they have a little café with some pastry items, smoothies, ice cream and shakes. I tried some of the orange/​vanilla and it was just okay. I think a lot of locals like this place because they’ve grown up with it and thats why they’re so passionate about it. To me, it seems more of a tourist trap.

I’ve always wondered about this place every time I pass it so today I finally decided to stop in. First of all, this place was packed with snowbirds, I could hardly find any parking. I was like wow, what the heck is really going on in there? This place was filled with a whole bunch of goodies including local wines, honey, fresh citrus fruits of course, a fresh juice section where u can sample every juice they offer (strawberry orange was my favorite) cookies, rum cake, jellies and more. I loved the jelly section. There were some very interesting choices like key lime, orange pineapple, and guava just to name a few. I picked up a couple of those. The only thing I didn’t like about the jellies is that they do have corn syrup & artificial color&flavor in them which I always try to steer clear of. WHY, WITH CORN SYRUP & artificial color&flavor?U have beautiful fruits, beautiful juices but u make your jellies and stink them up with corn syrup etc?! Blah! CHEAP! This corn syrup crap is everywhere, it’s really hard to avoid especially if you’re eating sweets. The ice cream line was ridiculous, but moved fast. The selections they offered that I can remember were orange vanilla swirl, orange, key lime, key lime chocolate swirl and vanilla. Of course, I couldn’t pass on that and got key lime. I really liked this place, it’s a little pricey, but I will definitely be back to load up on some more goodies my next time around.
UPDATE: hated the jellies. They didn’t even taste the descriptions. I would not recommend them

This review is for the delivery of the oranges as a gift which is unacceptable.
1) they have people working there to assist you with your delivery purchase who can not tell you what exact day the fruit will be delivered. Sounds absurd. I know. But they say «well it takes 2 – 3 days to pack it and then the delivery process starts». I made my order on Tue and I wanted it delivered in the US by Fri. She said probably Monday at the latest Tue (again odd they can not tell me when my gift us to arrive). Finally on Mon i got an email from USPS saying Thur delivery? Then the next day another email saying Friday!!!
Unreliable delivery packing on their end. I paid alot for the postage.
In this day and age
1) they can’t even tell you exactly when your item will arrive?
2) 7 days late? Not acceptable.
Never order a gift from here to be delivered!
These stupid oranges are due to arrive 11 days after I made the order! But it gets better…
When I called there this woman kept telling me The slip was ripped and thus package of oranges was returned. She gave me her supervisors number who said that was not what happened that it rained and there was no fruit? They have no idea what they are doing. why is the one person saying something different? I then received 3 orders! Four days a part! So the first order was 7 days late and total of 11 days and then two more orders came that we never ordered. Unorganized Floridians!

This place is one of a kind awesome! It is a must stop for anyone that is in the area looking for an unique experience. This place has me and my family coming back time and time again!
Whats not to love about free juice and fruit samples?! They have over 5 different kinds of juice to try and 3 types of fresh fruit daily for people to sample! After you’re done sampling there is plenty of fresh fruit for you to pick out and buy! Same with the juice!
The store has other knickknacks and is just so fun to look around in. They also make fresh bakery items daily. I always try and get the Oreo dream bar, which is to die for! They also have amazing ice cream you need to try!
Seriously if you’re in the area stop in and check this place out, you will not regret it!

Wenn hier hereinkommt riecht man schon den tollen Duft der frischen Fruchtsäfte. Man kann durch große Fenster auch die Herstellung der Säfte verfolgen. Alle hier verkauften Fruchtsäfte werden ganz Frisch gepresst, und man kann jeden Fruchtsaft vorher verkosten wie er schmeckt. Für mich ist das highlight der Orangejuice, wobei auch der Lemonjuice ist hervorragend, der Lemonjuice ist ganz toll mild und ganz und gar nicht sauer, eher süßlich. Es gibt außerdem noch Sotfeis, Candies, Souveniers, Milchshakes und und und, einfach mal hereinschauen !

Great juices (try the Cranberry Orange), tasty and fresh fruits and yummy ice cream. Will definetly go there again soon
